释义 | genuine The usual pronunciation of this word among educated speakers has a short final vowel, \\\\jen-yə-wən\\\\ or \\\\jen-yə-win\\\\. A variant with long final vowel, \\\\'jen-yə-,wīn\\\\, is found in most regions of the United States, and in some places is even the predominant form in less educated speech. This variant has a friendly, folksy ring to it and is often used in jest by educated speakers. But these observations are generalizations; our pronunciation files show occasional use of \\\\'jen-yə-,wīn\\\\ in a nonfacetious context by educated speakers, for instance by the Irish author Sean O'Faolain, and by a former headmaster of a prestigious New England preparatory school. |
